[QUOTE="Bob Crowley, post: 77414458, member: 383390"] Well, it's all over but the shouting (the blame game and the endless analyiss by talking heads). The Referendum on "The Voice" received an overall "No" vote across alll states and territories except for the Australian Capital Territory. To be effective there must be a national majority and also a majority in four of the six states (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia). For some reason the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the Northern Territory are not counted as "states" although in my opinion they should be. I can understand why they weren't counted as "states" in the early days of the Commonwealth, but times have changed. The ACT tends to be left wing as it has a lot of federal public servants. I remember a former neighbour who'd been in the navy and then managed a tyre store in Canberra. He said the people there weren't very sympathetic to private enterprise. Mind you that was his opinion and he was there a long time ago, but it makes a certain amount of sense. I watched a bit of the follow up on the ABC but I switched off once the blame game started.
